A convicted killer serving a life sentence at a New York prison told a Jefferson Parish jury Thursday (June 18) that Terry Speaks confessed he and his girlfriend killed a Bourbon Street dancer after luring her from the French Quarter.
Speaks and his girlfriend Margaret Sanchez knocked the dancer out with a blow to her head, bound her and put her in the trunk of her car and drove to a home near an airport, where they put the unconscious woman in a bathroom, the lifer Christian del Rosario testified.
Sanchez, 31, of Metairie, is charged with the same offense and will stand trial separately. Her trial date is not set, but she has a status hearing set for Friday morning before testimony in Speaks' case resumes.

Prosecutors play ph call where Speaks talks of the date of Lockhart's death. "You like when I fight for you, like on June 6th"
